I am 5'4'' and I am 170 pounds (overweight for my height). I always had big boobs but they are getting bigger and I am getting back pain. I am also a little hunchback and my shoulders and back posture can not be straight. I am a 38 DD or maybe even a DDD. The surgeon that will do the surgery if approved just submitted a letter from me primary doctor of her telling them of my pain and breast problems and the surgeon will also ask the insurance. They also took pictures too.

Hello! Thank you for your question! I hope that these answers help in

breasts, which is typically treated by breast reduction. It is not
uncommon to have the symptoms that you describe such as
neck/back/shoulder pain as well...
